i'm making a 2player game with sprites, the controls use the cursor keys(leftkey(),rightkey()) and the "a" and "d" keys i use the inkey$() command to check to see if a or d is being pressed but i found a problem, if i press the "a" key and then the rightkey(or leftkey) at the same time the "a"key no longer has any affect until i release the left or right key and press the "a"key again. can i fix it so that both of my sprites can be controlled at the same time??
thanks

Don't know if you can change this whit te keyboard. 2 Players --> 1 keyboard. You can use the mouse for a second player.

first find the codes for the keys you wanna use like this

sync on
do
set cursor 0,0
print scancode()
sync
loop


then use these codes with KEYSTATE() to see if they pressed:


if keystate(?)
code...
endif
